While the overall philosophy that made the first edition sosuccessful has remained the same, the book has been extensivelyrevised and updated to reflect all new regulations and technicaladvances that have occurred in the field over the past five years.In addition, this Second Edition now features a multitude of sampleforms, checklists, protocols, and other valuable documents thatwill become an indispensable part of any laboratory health andsafety management program.
A valuable reference tool for those seeking detailed informationand guidance on specific safety and health issues, Handbook ofLaboratory Health and Safety, Second Edition is also much more. Byproviding a set of clear, easy-to-follow guidelines that serve as arational framework for creating site-specific health and safetyrequirements, it, in effect, arms laboratory managers with a solidfoundation upon which to build--or reengineer--a comprehensiveprogram for identifying, managing, and controlling health andsafety hazards in the laboratory. All of the authors' recommendedguidelines are clearly presented in the section entitled "SuggestedLaboratory Health and Safety Guidelines." Each chapter of thehandbook refers to the relevant sections of the SuggestedGuidelines, explains the basis for the recommendations, andprovides guidance on how to comply. Offering a feasible, easilyimplemented approach to designing and maintaining a safe workplace,Handbook of Laboratory Health and Safety is an indispensable toolfor all those responsible for safeguarding the health and safety oflab workers and the residents of the ambient community.
